This radical surgery was necessary, Alan said, to create a surplus to assure that future retirees would get the benefits they're due. Quaaaack. But instead of locking these surpluses away for future retirees, Greenspan left them open to raids by any president needing a quick pile of cash for a pet political project. The latest to make the raid is George W, who dove head-first into our Social Security surplus to pull out the billions he needed to pay for his tax giveaways to the rich. <<<
